Restoring Colorado looks to change House district boundaries

Restoring Colorado, a citizen's initiative committee, is seeking signatures on a petition drive for a ballot initiative to change the way Coloradans elect state representatives in 2017.

The proposal would change House district boundaries to coincide with county boundaries, giving each county one representative.

The petition drive seeks signatures of 100,000 registered Colorado voters. Citizens may volunteer to circulate petitions and educate voters on this issue or donate by going to the committee's Web site, restoringcolorado.org.

Proponents of the proposal are Randy Schafer and Joe Kinnie, who live in Phillips County in the northeast corner of the state.

Petitions are available to be signed at Bettiann's, 112 S. Main St. in Lamar; Guarantee Abstract, 312 S. Main St. in Lamar; and Viaero Wireless, 1202 E. Olive St. (Hwy 50) in Lamar.
